(Photo: Getty)Shelton rallied from the brink of defeat to beat Majchrzak in the first round. This was the first win of his comeback as well. He was sidelined for a few weeks after sustaining an injury during his third-round match at the US Open. He left the Shanghai Masters without a win upon his return to the tour.Munar didn't break a sweat over the course of his win over Bertola. He will be feeling quite confident of his chances against Shelton as well given their head-to-head. He won their most recent meeting in Rome for the loss of only three games. His other win also came earlier in the season in Dallas, a tournament played on indoor hardcourts.However, Munar's 3-20 career record against top 10 players doesn't do him any favors. Both of his wins against Shelton came prior to the latter's entry into the top 10. The American seems to be slowly inching towards his best form, and with a few spots at the ATP Finals up for grabs, there's more than enough motivation for him to leave it all out on the court. He should be able to avenge his prior losses to Munar this time.Pick: Ben Shelton to win in straight sets.Ben Shelton vs Jaume Munar betting tipsTip 1: Ben Shelton to win.Tip 2: The match will have at least 20 games.
